You can argue that the last election presented us with the same basic choice as we have today, and in some ways that's right if Obama was properly understood in 2008. But for very many he wasn't - he was an unknown, untested quantity who argued for vague "hope and change." Now, however, we know who he is. We know what he has and has not done in the past 4 years.
In 2012, we know that we have a very clear choice between Obama, who divides us by class and race and beliefs, a dictatorial president who finds ways to run over or undermine the constitutional system and the Congress, a president who believes the government should pick winners and losers and choose what we citizens are allowed to get and not get and that government should micromanage and control our economic lives, our health lives, our educational lives, even our religious lives - and an alternative, in Mitt Romney, who believes in freedom - free markets and free people, more freely living our lives; who believes in limited, Constitutional government, and a society in which we are not hyphenated or divided by class, race, or believes, but a civil society in which we respect one another as Americans first.
To be honest, we need Romney to win today; we need Republicans to win the House and the Senate. Not because Republicans are perfect - they are not - but because we know that Obama and the Democrats will push Obamacare to completion and expansion and foist on us other big government control policies that will further cripple our economy and change the expectations of American citizens with regard to the government in a dangerous way.
This is the time to stand up. Reach out to family and friends, reach out across your neighborhood and community and across the nation. Get everyone out there to support and vote for Romney and the Republicans, no matter what it takes. No matter how many minutes or hours you need to stand in line - no matter what. Today is the day, and now is the time!
